Pretty in blue ...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created from a pale blue and layered up with several sets of dies from  Spellbinders.

I have used foam pads in between each layer to give more depth and I have inked through the oval layer with Faded Jeans Distress ink.

The pearls are from  Want2Scrap  and they surround the sentiment.  It is from a set that is made to fit the Labels Twenty die but who says that is the only way it can be used ??

The ribbon is from my "Stash" and the single flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts

The sentiment is from  JustRite Stampers   and contains many words that can be mixed and matched to say many things

Pretty Bows

Hi Everybody,

This week the ladies in my Card Class added some pretty bows to their cards and we used a 250 gsm card from the Papermill Direct  throughout

We used the  Sue Wilson Classic and Lattice 3-D bows and layered the two together

There is a whole selection of Sues' designs  available to you from   JGD Crafts

Both of these cards are lovely but once again they have gone for completely different color schemes

This time Mary has gone for the darker colors and Brenda has gone for the pale ones ... it's usually the other way round.

Mary has chosen the flowers that match the dots in the background paper and Brenda has gone for those that match the tiny bees on her paper.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts ... and don't forget that WOC have very kindly put together some starter packs which have flowers of  different sizes in them at a  really good price.

The flowers have been sparkled with Glitter Magic  to give an extra special look.

I think both cards look good and my ladies are doing really well with what they achieve each week.

Would You Like ???

Hi Everybody,

One door opens and another closes  because since I was invited to join Spellbinders .... I have had to leave the Spectrum Noir Design Team.

Because Spectrum Noir is part of Crafters Companion and they make dies then there is a conflict of interests between them and Spellbinders.

I will still be part of the instructor team and will still be doing the workshops I have planned.

I will also continue to add cards with the color lists to my blog pages.

One of the workshops is with   JGD Crafts  on the 13th September and that class is fully booked.

The other is with  Crafting4pleasure  and that is in Bristol on the 4th October.

There are a couple of places left on that workshop

So if you live near there and would like to go then you can contact  Bev on Facebook   to book your place.  Just click the link.

Now what I want to ask is that would you like me to start including cards with colored images on them in the Friday Freebie.

These will be images that I have colored and made into cards like the ones shown. Tomorrows card is already chosen but if you would like me to include some of these then I will add one next week.

Let me know what you think please

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
